Failing Health.

Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. l tried various remedies pre-
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which did, and am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.

eventful one throughout, and even bis enemies

admitted his great
ness and his hon.

his eldest son after

he partook with

our army. He helped the United States
much in securing money and friends in
France, and to the day Of his death he con-
sidered himself as much q citizen Of his
adopted country as his own. We have q park
here at Washington named after him It is
directly opposite the White House, and it Is

One of the best paintings of Lafayette is
that which hangs in the house Of representa-
tives. 1t was painted by AIRY Shelter, and
the artist took a sketch for it of Lafayette as
he lay upon his death bed. He was aided also
by sketch which Lafayettes eldest daughter
made at this time, and l suppose by the plas-

Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, June %.
At this time any new matter relating to
Gen. Lafayette will be interesting. Next week
occurs the Fourth Of July, and he more than
any other foreigner aided in making the cele-
bration Of our independence possible. Con-
gress has made an appropriation for statue
Of him, and the committee looked over
number Of models shortly after Congress ad-
journed. Nothing could be more appropriate
than such a statue, and it is fitting that the
United States Of today should bear in mind
the great services Of this French hero OF the
past. Lafayette was one Of the first French
men to come to the aid Of the United States
in the revolutionary struggle. He fitted out
yacht at his own expense and left France to
sail to America after the king forbade him.
When he arrived at Philadelphia he told con-
gress that he wanted only two things. The
first was that he might serve at his own ex-
pense, and the second that he might start out
as volunteer. He was only 10 years old at this
time, but congress made him major general
and he reported himself to Gen. Washington.
He did good service in the war, led the
attack at Monmouth and was badly wounded

From the NesC York Euer.ing Sun.
Mr.. Mesereau, of Esopus, Ulster county,
was introduced to Col Thomas 2. Ochiltree
in the smoking room of the Hoffman House
last Saturday evening, and heard the Colo
mel relate some interesting facts about the
snakes of Texas. Esopus is noted for rails
ing big squashes and able snake historians.
Mr.. Mesereau is one of the latter products.
and has attained his full growth.
When Mr. Ochiltree paused to relight his
cigar Mr.. Mesereau said: II believe some
snakes have human nature and instincts in
their systems, and will prove it to you One
day not long ago. while l was crossing a
field on my farm, heard a rustling in the
grass. | looked and saw something that
made my hair stand up so straight that my
hat fell off my head. Not ten feet away
was black snake over eight feet long. The
snake looked at me moment, thrashed the
ground with his tail, cavorted around in
circle, looked at me again, and then moved
away in the direction l was going.
II was SO paralyzed at what l saw that
stood still like balky jackass. The snake
came back, and after going through the
same performance as before he ran away
again.
s''That's mighty queer says / TO myself
Il wonder what ais that snake Again the
snake came back, thrashed and cavorted
around and looked into my eyes. This time
| had the courage to look more steadily, and
noticed sort Of appealing look in his
eyes. / followed the reptile, which ran
ahead to show me the way. He led me to
big log at the end of the field.
aUnder that log was the snakes mate.
He wanted me TO extricate him. | lifted
one end of the log, the snake crawled out,
and both of them streaked away.
1.-THE next morning, as | was eating
breakfast / heard knock at the door /
opened the door and there were the two black
snakes. They had big fat rabbit and a
pair of cartridges They crawled into the
kitchen, got up on a chair, laid the game on
the table and then left the house. They had
knocked at the door with their tails.
'Now, if you don't call that human ma
ture and instinct then I'd like to know what
human nature and instinct are"
Col. Ochiltrees cigar had gone out, and,
as he left the room TO get fresh one, he
murmured: ~ wonder if there is any
chance of salvation for a man who has the
snake habit fastened on him."

Who Is Devotee to Ophiology.
From the Boston Transcript.
She lives in Mailen; she is II years old, or
Whereabouts, and she is an ophiologist-
that is to say, her speciality is snakes. Very
often, in pleasant summer weather, this
young girl, with hands clad in high buck
gloves and armed with a bottle of chloro-
form, turks about the fens and pools and
thickets watching for snakes, a girl fair TO
look upon, sauntering, one might imagine,
with eyes upon the ground, in maiden med
itation, fancy free. She is in maiden medi-
tation, indeed, but not fancy free, because
her fancy is bound to snakes and she is
searching intently for some variety not yet
added to her collection of several hundred.
Presently she stops; with an eager CLEAN in
her eyes, she crouches along a step or two,
her glove-clad right hand drawn back as if
to clutch some object; she springs forward
toward the ground with a swift motion, and
then stands erect with the body of a snake
writhing about her arm in desperate
throes. She has it by the neck and pro-
ceeds calmly to thrust its head into the neck
of her bottle of chloroform.
Not many days ago this young scientist,
after rather desperate contest, captured
in the fells blacksnake so large and pow
erful that when it wrapped itself in the mad
grasp of its body about her arm it
strained her cords and muscles so severely
that she was lame for week. It did not
prevent her, however, from sallying forth
again, and when she happened to perceive,
at the margin of pool, a big watersnake
of variety which she had not secured for
her collection, she lay in wait for it. AS
the snake bounced upon frog she bounced
upon the snake; but the reptile was in his
element and escaped her. Was she to be baf-
fed in that way9 Not at all. She managed
to anchor frog in some way upon a stone
at the edge of pool, at spot where the
bank was overhung with bushes. Then she
stealthily laid herself fat upon her face I'M
der the bushes at the brink of the water,
and there she lay in ambush for long time,
while the snake curiously eyed the frog. At
last the snake, with sudden resolution, made
bold to seize the frog; but as he did so a
gloved hand, swifter than his own sinuous
motion, darted from the bank, and he was
prisoner, splashing the water of the pool in
his vain effort to escape. The girl has one
grief-she has not been able to capture with
her own hands q rattlesnake.

There is a good deal of talk in the New
York Yacht Club in favor of changing the
starting point for the preliminary and the
international yacht races from Owls Head
to Buoy Is, below the Narrows. Although
nothing has been definitely settled, the fact
that adverse currents and tickle winds in
the Narrows often bother the yachtsmen is
likely to cause the change to be made.
Mr.. Bell, Mr.. Watson, and the other gen.
tlemen of their party were at the New York
Yacht Club house last night. There were a
score or more members present, and the
Scotchmen got q very warm greeting.
